Houston Dog Bite Injury Lawsuits

“Who Let the Dogs Out,” is what everybody in a dog bit lawsuit is wondering, but no one more than your lawyer. Your lawyer wants to know, “Who was negligent? If you’re the careful owner, you are wondering why your sweet dog was so riled that she attacked and bit. If you the traumatized victim, you wonder why a dog that dangerous and unfriendly wasn’t on a leash and whether you’ll be scarred for life emotionally and physically.

The one thing you don’t need to wonder about who to hire for a lawyer! Paul Morgan of Paul Morgan Law Office, PLLC is a perfect choice when you’re in need of a dog bite attorney. Here’s why.

Paul Morgan is a Houston lawyer who understands personal injury civil litigation. He also handles criminal defense. Paul’s experience with victims of serious, bodily harm makes him one of your best choices for a dog bite case in Texas.

Texas Law and Dog Bite Injury Claims

Instead of a special dog bite law, Texas adopts a neutral approach and classifies dog bites with all other personal injury torts. This provides protection to dog owners of beloved pets who were aggravated and exhibited unusual behavior. When personal injury attorneys, like Paul Morgan, defend dog owners, we know the other side must show the court two key things to prove their case:

that the owner negligently failed to leash or restrain the pet, and

that the owner also knew that the dog was dangerous.

On the other hand, Texas provides plenty of protection to victims of vicious, unprovoked dog attacks. If you have been seriously injured and traumatized by a vicious dog attack by a dog known to be dangerous, you may bring criminal charges and seek a felony conviction. The criminal charge does not preclude a simultaneous suit for personal injury compensation, up to and including a wrongful death suit.
